Cleanin' Up the Town: Remembering Ghostbusters (2019)
So impressed. A love letter to a bygone movie making!
I've never left a review on here in my life, but I just had to for this doc. From start to finish it's purely about the making of this unique and special movie, with the highest access to all the key figures involved (minus Murray unsurprisingly). I've watched a few retrospective Docs that pad the run time and try patch over that they couldn't get the access they needed by adding nonsense cultural impact sections. Like interviewing fans and asking their opinion on why the property has remained relevant. I personally couldn't care less what some nerd at a comic convention thinks about Ghostbusters, or why its special to them. This thankfully, covers the inception, development and execution of the movie itself ditectly from the people who made it and gives you a greater appreciation of things you now take for granted. An example being what an insane risk putting a 40 foot marshmallow man in the 3rd act of your movie was.
